Market Stories: Field & Vase

“Just as people have become aware of where their food comes from, they have also begun to wonder where their flowers come from. We are field-to-vase, which allows us to use the best of what is blooming in the garden that day.” – Barb Rietscha, farmer-florist of Field & Vase by Stow Greenhouses.

Melissa DiPalma of LOOT Stories visited Barb’s 14-acre flower farm in Stow, MA to learn how she grows over 80 varieties of flowers year-round in New England, overseeing everything from first seeding to final arrangement.
